Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop is exactly what I've been looking for when it comes to gaming and regular needs. The keys are very nice, and it is light enough that it isn't a burden at all. The light up keys are good for nighttime, and the ability to change the fan settings with a press of a key is very convenient. I would personally recommend it to anyone planning to start university or college.

This is the fastest machine I have owned, and love it. The only downside is that it came with Windows 11 Home, so I upgraded to Professional ($100 from Microsoft store) in order to run virtual machines on it. Running Windows XP in virtual mode boots up faster than it ever did on its own machines from back in the day!

Bought open box excellent condition (not excellent certified) and it was basically brand new. No marks or signs of wear so for $995 it was a good deal. Aesthetically looks good, minimal and portable. Basically it replaced my desktop with its performance as well. Normal price may not be worth it with all of the options at that price but if you can find it used it might be worth the purchase.

Great laptop. Run most games on high settings. Small enough to travel with.

Worked well while it lasted, but the screen gave out; soon after, the whole laptop died. Unfortunately my warranty just had expired. Disappointing, but it was a great laptop while it lasted. Lasted only a year, though.

This is a great editing rig for the value. Compact, quick and powerful

Overall, this is a great laptop. The build quality, display, keyboard, it’s all fantastic. The performance is excellent…..with one exception. If you purchase this laptop, be prepared to experience awful WiFi connectivity. Asus has been using MediaTek WiFi cards as of late, rather than Intel cards. This is a complaint that you’ll consistently find across reviews of this product, along with other recent Asus gaming laptops. It’s not a matter of being unlucky or not, if you buy this, you’re going to get the same junk MediaTek WiFi card as the rest of us. You WILL experience random disconnects. Your download speeds WILL be lower than they should. This isn’t a matter of chance, it’s a guarantee. Thankfully, you can resolve this issue quite easily. It’ll cost you about $25 and ten minutes of your time. Buy an Intel ax200 WiFi card, you can find one off Amazon or B&H. There’s a 3 minute video you can watch on YouTube that’ll walk you through how to replace the WiFi card. Just remove the back cover, and you’ll find the WiFi card under the SSD, which you’ll have to remove as well. As someone that’s never taken a laptop apart, I can promise you, swapping the WiFi card isn’t very difficult. The worst part is getting the two cables reconnected to the card once you swap the old one out. Thankfully, you can practice with the Intel card once you get it (comes as a desktop kit with wires already attached. You don’t need anything else in the kit, just the card). Spend some time practicing removing and reapplying the cables before you open the laptop and make the switch. Also make sure to download the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers from Intel’s website before you make the switch as well, as you will need to install them once you make the swap (note: my laptop connected to WiFi without even installing the drivers, but you should still install them regardless). Once you swap the WiFi card, you’ll see much better performance. Hopefully Asus dumps the MediaTek WiFi cards in the future, and switch back to Intel. Since swapping the cards, I haven’t experienced any issues whatsoever. As I stated earlier, everything else about this laptop is great, and I highly recommend it, as long as you’re okay with either swapping the WiFi card, or buying an Ethernet adapter for wired connectivity, as this laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port. If you don’t do either of those, you’re going to have a bad time on WiFi, and that’s a promise.

Good specs for price. Runs League of Legends perfectly! Lightweight too.

Overall a good laptop with good power. The battery life is pretty bad, and the fingerprint reader doesn't work more than it does. It also gets very hot when under any load, so is not great for lap use. If using on a desk it is great.

Thin and light Excellent entry gaming computer for a student

Bought this laptop for my son, as a result of having another similar laptop from ROG that I purchased previously from Best Buy. Just as expected, this laptop far exceeds expectations. Not only will this serve as an entertainment device for my teenage son, it will also multi serve as a tool for his academics. Highly recommend these laptops as I believe they are truly better than MacBooks.

Extreemly fast laptop has everything I needed great price

This laptops runs all my high end games which makes me happy, but don’t buy this at full price. The laptops keys get so hot they burn my finger tips and it’s shut off / restarted on me once. Mostly though, it gets super hot…and the fan is pretty loud. Serves its purpose though.

I love this little laptop! It is super compact and fits in my standard sized backpack. Very good construction, no keyboard deck flex, and just a little workhorse in gaming. My only complaint is that if you use it for heavy processing or gaming the chassis can get quite hot since it is made of stiff magnesium. But in all a Wonderful little laptop!

Good laptop, I had issues with using it when not plugged straight out the box. However when it was plugged in it was an amazing laptop to use for the price I bought it for.

So far so good after 6 months Solid laptop for work and gaming. Negatives are it does get too hot if using intensive applications, and will randomly have blue screens every now and then. Seems to be an Asus issue. But it hasn’t bothered me

Good small gaming laptop. very fast. very cool looking.

Elegant, durable, light weight and great graphics.

Fantastic laptop, runs well, great lighting options. I’m an interior architect student and run large programs all day. Love this laptop would buy again. Just would get a little more storage than 500GB bc of my profession.

got this on sale and its the perfect laptop for a beginner like me. i usually only play on my PS5? but this thing is just as impressive amd offers even more. playing at higher framerates on higher graphical setgings is pretty sweet. and it still does all the normal computer stuff you need it to do. 10/10. couldnt be more satisfied.
